CAPACITANCE MEASUREMENTS

WARNING: To avoid electric shock, disconnect power to the unit under
test and discharge all capacitors before taking any capacitance
measurements. Remove the batteries and unplug the line cords.
1. Set the function switch to the highest CAP position.
2. Insert the black test lead banana plug into the negative (COM) jack.
Insert the red test lead banana plug into the positive (CAP) jack.
3. Touch the test leads to the capacitor to be tested.
4. Read the capacitance in the display and then set the function switch to
the lowest CAP position that is greater than the actual or any
anticipated capacitance The display will indicate the proper decimal
point and value.

TEMPERATURE MEASUREMENTS

WARNING: To avoid electric shock, disconnect both test probes from
any source of voltage before making a temperature measurement.
1. Set the function switch to a TEMP position.
2. Insert the Temperature Probe into the negative (COM) and the positive
(TEMP) jacks, making sure to observe the correct polarity.
3. Touch the Temperature Probe head to the part whose temperature you
wish to measure. Keep the probe touching the part under test until the
reading stabilizes (about 30 seconds).
4. Read the temperature in the display. The digital reading will indicate
the proper decimal point and value.
WARNING: To avoid electric shock, be sure the thermocouple has been
removed before changing to another measurement function.
